Unit Vacancies Thread, by State

[California Major]

It would be nice to have an area to post vacancies. The number one question I get is "What types of jobs are out there".

With the Guard currently overstrength, it would be great to have a place to advertise specific MOS's with specific units, like I did with the "Rock Crusher / Quarry Unit" post.

That is a small unit with a big job, and they need troops in a bad way. I am sure there are other units with needs, even while the Guard as a whole is overstrength.

This is an idea with potential. I'd recommend that we put some sort of sunset date on the thread, so that someone doesn't dig up an old thread from two years ago, and get bent out of shape that the unit doesn't exist any more.

I'm not sure exacly what sunset date means (assume a date the 'offer' is good for) but how about the (recruiter i'd assume or recruiter type anyways) just edit the post when slot(s) are filled?

Maj Day, I inquired to your contact person about the MP deployment openings. Got a response back too. He is looking into if there is anything other than MP (or the usual Guard missions where some slots arent MOS specific) slots. Their rough dates match my rough redeployment dates. I have some good lines on other opportunities that look very promising, but didnt hurt to get more info on that too. Thank you.

Sir(s),

To clarify, is the idea that this specific thread would serve as a space to advertise open slots?

or would there be a separate thread (or even board) established to advertise?

Its Gentlemen, not "Sirs".

So glad someone read the MP posting, they were thrilled to see it posted here!

I would have put the thanks there (for a bump) but didnt remember off-hand where it was located.
